If you’ve been wondering where I went, this update explains the pause and what comes next for the podcast. It’s a candid check-in on grief, burnout, and the reality of trying to make a highly researched audio show sustainable.
The plan is to try again with a few new episodes for spooky season, but with a format that feels more sustainable and more connected to listeners. If you have any ideas or feedback on format or what you'd like to hear...this is the time to share!
And if you’re here for the long haul, thank you for sticking around through the quiet stretch. Take care of your pets and your loved ones, and remember: even if ghosts aren’t real, the people and animals in our lives are. Cherish them.
